Made in the Usa • Why Dig GARDENING • LANDSCAPING • TREE FARMING • TERMITE PROTECTION • GROUNDS MAINTENANCE • MADE IN THE USA • WHY DIG WHEN YOU CAN DRILL? www.powerplanter.com OUR COMPANY Hand-Welding Augers for Three Generations From Our Farm to Your Door WHO WE ARE: Power Planter® is a third generation family-owned auger manufacturer that started two decades ago in rural Illinois and is still located there today. The centennial farm where our company began making augers is a sixth generation family run farm. We have evolved over the past 30+ years from the invention and patent of our original Power Planter auger to offer a variety of different sizes, models, and even auger accessories today. Above all, we are a family business, and we strive every day to adhere to the same level of craftsmanship and work ethic the company was first founded on more than 20 years ago. OUR CORE PRINCIPLES: Though the years have passed, the core principles Power Planter was founded on remain strong. We are committed to putting our customers’ needs first – every single time. Our augers: • Are 100% made in the USA • Feature high quality, durable craftsmanship • Come with 1-on-1 customer service assistance and more We will always work hard to create high quality augers for our customers today, tomorrow, and for many years to come. OUR HISTORY: The incredible background story for our company begins over 50 years ago with the current owner’s grandfather, Wayne Niewold, near the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Wayne is the original inventor of Power Planter augers, but long before Power Planter came about, he started a successful and growing business called Hydra Fold Auger. Hydra Fold manufactures and sells large, specialized augers for farmers to move corn, soybeans, wheat, and fertilizer around their fields faster and more efficiently. This story is a story of firsts. When Hydra Fold was in its heyday, another rural Illinois local knew about these augers, and he also happened to be friends with a groundskeeper at the University of Illinois. The groundskeeper was looking for an easier way to plant trees, shrubs and flowers around campus. He also wanted to complete other landscaping tasks around the grounds faster and more efficiently. Wayne’s name and augers came immediately to mind for the local man who knew both the groundskeeper and the inventor. Since these large augers were so successful within the farming industry, why not make a smaller version for drilling holes in the soil and planting? Then the idea for Power Planter augers was born. Not only were Hydra Fold augers the first of their kind for farmers 50 years ago, but Power Planter augers were the first of their kind for homeowners and professional landscapers to use, too. Wayne Niewold is truly a pioneer in this industry, and Power Planter augers were originally made possible only through his creative vision, talent and unending hard work. OUR COMPANY TODAY: Our founder Wayne invented the first garden-friendly earth auger more than 20 years ago. Today, we manufacture and sell more than ten different sizes and models. Power Planter is now operated by the original owner’s grandson, Greg Niewold. Greg took over in 2013 and has spurred significant company growth while expanding the reach of Power Planter to serve customers across the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, select countries in Europe, and more.

The most rugged and versatile option for this auger is the tube drive with a heavy duty tip (THD). The THD digging tip is replaceable, and the leading portion of the auger blade is replaceable as well – this makes it easier and more cost-efficient to keep your equipment performing at its best.

  • March 2016 Newsletter
    March 2016 The Trowel President’s Prose Volume 4, Issue 1 Dear Members and Friends, Just when I thought that spring might be peeking around the corner, it snowed again! I've been searching in my little garden to see if any of the daffodil bulbs that I planted last autumn have come through, but on the dreary north side it remains cold and still. On the other hand I visited Esther recently and on the sunny west side of her house, she has patches of tulips already. I am sooooo envious! I hope that some of you will decide to join me as April approaches and take a little stroll through Meacham Woods. I was inspired by the speaker who told us about all the wild flowers that we may see and am hoping to do that this year. I do need someone with me who can identify them though as I am sure I won’t remember. Let us find a way to get a group together and enjoy the outdoors. Your Plant Sale committee have already been very busy making plans for the sale in May and I hope that you have placed your orders with Henia and will be ready to get up early that weekend to help unload the truck and set up for another exciting and successful event. Please note on your calendars that we change venue as of April for our monthly meetings. We will be at St. Paul Church and you will get timely reminders from the Program Committee in this respect.

  • Power Sources, Equipment for Life on a Few Acres by Wesley Gunkel and David Ross
    Power Sources, Equipment for Life on a Few Acres By Wesley Gunkel and David Ross Modern farming and our style of living require the use of energy in much greater quantities than in the past. While re- turning to nature on a few acres may reduce dependence on energy and modern equipment for some, it is hard to escape their use. Power is needed to perform the many tasks found in maintaining and using a few acres. The few acre site may open new energy sources to the owner. Natural energy from wind, water, the sun, wood or coal may be locally utilized. Electricity, natural gas, fuel oil and coal may be supplied by commercial companies. Equipment such as tractors and tractor-operated imple- ments, household appliances, and power tools use many sources. Family living requires surprisingly large quantities of energy. More than 20 percent of all the energy in the United States is consumed in the home. Over half of this energy is used for heating. Both your life style and the nature of any operations on your few acres will determine energy requirements. The loca- tion of your place will determine the most likely energy sources. Most few acre operations will be near electricity or a petroleum fuel source. However, the electrical service may be inadequate for large electrical motors, particularly 3-phase motors. Accessibility for fuel deliveries may be poor during some months, and larger storage facilities may be needed. Electricity obtained from a central station is fairly depend- able and reasonably priced as a rule. Electrical generators on your few acres are ideal for standby operation.

  • How to Process Palm Oil with the Pit
    Guidelines for the construction of a cemented palm oil pit This guideline gives the dimensions for the “1 drum pit” (75kg of cement) and “2 drums pit” (125 kg of cement). This model can be adapted by adjusting the size of the hole and the proportions of cement. Tools and Material The construction involves locally available materials, except cement which might be hardly available and costly for remote farming families. The construction requires basic masonry knowledge and tools. Materials Quantities for 1 drum pit Quantities for 2 drums pit Cement (kg) 75 (1.5 bags) 125 (2.5 bags) Sand (head pans) 15 30 Granite stones (head pans) 35 80 Stones for the floor (head pans) 10 25 Tools Measuring tape Buckets Hammer Level Head pans Sledge hammer Strings Pick axe Wooden sticks Shovel Machete Trowel Steps 1. Site selection (15 mn) It is necessary for the farmer to choose an adequate location to optimize the efficiency of the pit. In order to facilitate the process, it is advisable to locate the pit : - Within the palm trees garden to reduce the constraints of transportation. - Near to a water point (swamp, stream, well) because the process requires a large quantity of water. - On a gentle slope to allow the proper drainage of water. 2. Site preparation (15 mn) Before starting the construction, the site has to be clear of grass, branches and stones. Tools : machete and the shovel. Steps 3. First soil marking (15 mn) This soil marking helps the farmer to visualise the size of the hole he has to dig.
